Default Clearcoat?

Does anyone use clearcoat spray on top of the paint?

I was thinking of this sequence --> base 2 coats- then clear- then stickers- then clear. Anyone ever do that?

If you painted the outside of the body, that might work ok. but since R/C bodys are painted from the inside, that would not work.
i have used clear before on the inside as a protectant, but i have not done that in a long time.

hahah thanks, I did not know you paint them on the inside. And it shows through the clear plastic good? Where do you put the stickers? ... inside then spray over them?
